Series: Things Jesus Never Said
Message: “Go, Do What Makes Your Happy”
Text: John 8:2-11
Pastor Tom Cogle
Sunday, May 5, 2019
Jesus did not say:
•Go into all the world and preach whatever makes people happy.
•Whoever wants to be my disciple, must affirm themselves, avoid the cross, and follow their own heart.
•Ask and it will be given to you, because God is your Celestial Sugar Daddy.

This is what Jesus did say:
Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

WHY DO WE GIVE IN TO THE TEMPTATION TO SIN?
•It’s fun!
Sin promises satisfaction at the cost of disobedience to God and eventual pain to you.

Why do so many of us end up giving in to temptation?
•Without a belief in absolute truth, then truth is defined by whatever makes me happy.
We tend to look for happiness in all the wrong places.

Holiness isn’t mutually exclusive of happiness, in fact, they are very, very related.

Our God is faithful, and He will always give you a way out.

Every temptation is an invitation to depend on Christ!

Remorse – I got caught, I’m sorry
Repent – Turn to a higher power
